CAMERA SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REMOTELY CONTROLLING COMPOSITIONS OF SELF-PORTRAIT PICTURES USING HAND GESTURES

A camera system for taking a self-portrait picture includes a buffer memory and an image processor unit. The buffer memory stores a first image and a second image. Both images contain a human figure. In the first figure the human figure is standing in a command pose, and in the second image in a free pose. The image processor unit detects a human figure in the first image, determines whether the pose of the human figure is a command pose, detects a specific composition gesture pattern corresponding to pose of the human figure in the first image, determines the intended composition of the self-portrait picture using the detected composition gesture pattern, process the second image according to the intended composition, and stores the processed image.
